go get it

Post pointed out in the previous comment is for 10 GB not 12 GB.

3g speeds though. I couldn't listen to a 2 hour podcast on a 3 hour drive because it buffered so much.

Yeah, the only streaming service that works on 3MBPS is YouTube. Other streaming services buffered a little. Heck, even YouTube buffered when I fast forward a bit.

What carrier were you connected to ?

I listen to online radio, SiriusXM, watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on the GO Train quite often on PM 3G service, never an issue.

That's false. The 3Mbps speed works more than fine for Youtube, Netflix, Prime Video, CTV, Global, and Citytv. You're looking at maybe a 3 second delay before video starts, but once it does, it's fine. This is at 720p resolution 1080p would be pushing it but would just me a couple more seconds to before the video start playing.

Either way, only connections to the LTE network are throttled. Connections to the HSPA+ network are full speed, and i routinely get anywhere between 15 and 35Mpbs.

This plan/promotion is already being discussed in another previous message thread.

Never have I had streaming issues with PM. Must’ve been the area you were in, which would have affected Telus in general (not just PM).

I streamed 720p nba playoffs with no lag and baseball in the summer using the sportsnet app.

was able to stream 360p YouTube video with no lag
didn't test 720p because of limited amount of my data

But muh Freedom mobile 5G

If anyone is wondering, this offer expired back on October 28.

Not a deal, many people on here are on Koodo 12gb/$60 plan with 4G LTE speeds.

do we need to post EVERY PM plans here?

ANYTHING MORE THAN $40 6gb is not HOT AT ALL

you can get $40/6gb with lte speed not 3g.

These plans aren’t available to everyone though.
